Jefferson County property taxes still not paid in full are now accruing penalties, according to Tax Assessor-Collector Allison Nathan Getz. Property taxes were due in full on Jan. 31, Getz explained.

Beginning Feb. 1, penalty and interest is applied to unpaid tax balances.

“We hope this reminder will help people remember to not overlook taking care of a payment they fully intended to make,” Getz said. “Please call our office if you are having difficulty meeting your tax obligation.”

Taxes may be paid in cash, check, or credit/debit card in person. Telephone payments may be made by calling 1-866-549-1010 and use Bureau Code: 2228888. Also, credit card payments or e-check payments may be made online at www.certifiedpayments.net with Bureau Code: 2228888. A convenience fee of 2.25% on credit card payments and no fee on e-check payments will occur.
